They answered most of my questions but I could have used more information. My mother became a patient during an emergency hospitalization and following a heart attack.

The practice should have followed up with discharge care planning before my mom transferred from hospital to a short term rehab facility.

I had requested that one specific Dr treat my mother during her hospitalization and into the short term rehab, as her primary care internist. However, the hospital infrastructure worked differently and this did not happen.

This practice is unique because it offers homebound visits and also visits to convalescent homes. I would feel more at ease if the same internist were treating my mom at both hospital and short term rehab center, instead of the short term rehab center "assigning" its doctor to her. My mom was admitted to the short term rehab center with a list of confirmed medications and almost "lost" her RX for Ambien to safeguard her insomnia and possible apnea (I have obstructive sleep apnea and my sleep specialist says that it's likely that my parents, siblings and my children may have apnea, too). I overheard the rehab center's RN speaking to the rehab center's Dr by phone and he didn't want her taking Ambien. I quickly indicated "Time" and explained that one night when my mom DIDN'T have Ambien (at the hospital Day 7 of her heart attack-angioplasty inpatient stay), that she only got 2 hours of sleep.

Ambien stayed as one of my Mom's RX meds.

But, my point? It's important to have CONSISTENCY for a patient, especially a post-operative patient and elderly person when they go from hospital to a convalescent facility. Communication among physicans is not guaranteed, I found out. Communication by phone and in the written patient's chart should remain consistent.
